Association
Quarter Midgets of America is a non-profit organization with over 3000
family memberships. There are 13 regions in our Organization and 57 Quarter
Midget clubs across the Nation. QMA is a strong organization that specifies
engine, chassis, safety, track and driving regulations. Since its
inception, QMA has enjoyed one of the finest safety records of all organized
sports for children.
Boys and Girls ages 5 to 16 drive open wheel racecars scaled down to 1/4 the
size of a full midget racecar. QMA is divided into 16 different classes and
divisions ranging as follows: Junior Novice, Senior Novice for beginners
then graduating to Junior Honda, Senior Honda, Heavy Honda, Light GX160,
Heavy GX160, Junior Super stock, Senior Super stock, Heavy Super stock,
Light Mod, Heavy Mod, Light B, Heavy B, Light A and Heavy A.
Additionally 1/4 midget driver may graduate to 1/2 Midgets, which are
divided into a Junior class.
Quarter Midget Racing not only hosts many weekly races, but also local
Regional races, and for the more serious competitor, three Grand National
Events (two asphalt track races and one dirt track race.)
Purpose
The purpose of the
organization is to create and maintain a clean, safe sport, which may be
enjoyed by father, son, mother and daughter in a close relationship with
better sportsmanship.
To acquaint the younger generation with the handling of mechanical devices,
coordination, alertness and ability to handle motor driven vehicles.
To impress the younger generation with the ideas of fairness, generosity and
a sense of responsibility, without envy of others.
Benefits
Few other sports permit
all members of the family to participate. The kids do the driving while
other family members serve as pit crews, chief mechanics, scorers,
timekeepers and operators of concession stands or novelty booths. All
persons assisting donate their services gratuitously.
